A man and a woman, both in their 40s, were arrested to be questioned later today.

Sergeant Davies said: "Our enquiries continue but we are obviously eager to hear from anyone who has any information about the supply of controlled drugs in Rhyl. Let’s work together to clear our communities of those who pedal this menace.

This morning’s action is part of Operation Scorpion’s on-going effort to tackle illegal drug production, possession and supply in the region.

"Anyone with information regarding controlled drugs in the county area can contact North Wales Police on 101 or alternatively anonymously via Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111."
